ts\, flowers and fruits\, painstakingly crafted in glass from 1886 to 1936
by German glass artists\, father and son Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka. So
me 4\,000 models were made by just two men\, Leopold Blaschka (1822-1895)
and his son Rudolph (1857-1939). Heirs to a long tradition of glass-workin
g in Bohemia\, they had moved to Germany and established a studio outside
of Dresden.\nGlass Flowers would be a perfect addition to visits to the Bo
ston Garden & Flower Show\, March 16-20\, 2011\, or the 10th World Flower
Show in June 15-19\, 2011. Docent-led tours of the gallery are available o
n Tuesday & Thursday afternoons\, although these are not necessary as good
signage and a short video presentation makes self-guided tours just as re
warding.\nFor more information\, visit:\nhttp://www.hmnh.harvard.edu/on_ex
hibit/the_glass_flowers.html\nGlass artist Dale Chihuly on the Glass Flowe
rs at Harvard:\n'It is an unbelievable collection...No one really knows ho
w they did that\, it is mind boggling and extraordinary.'\n
